Congrats to you both Mark!

Very nice, Mark and obviously a good job of parenting.

A 2002 WRX was the first new I car I had ever leased. A couple of younger co-workers have similar WRX as to what you post. For sure a car you want to lease, not own and she'll have a blast with it.

Ok, she's now in possession of the WRX, and here's a few pix:

The "jammed packed" engine compartment isn't quite like my 1963 Bonneville convertible with a 389 V8 that I used to own when I was her age. It was a great open engine compartment, and so easy to work on that engine too. Different times...

Yup, you could basically adjust anything with a screwdriver and wrench, now you practically need a computer just to change the battery.

Great looking car and nice color.

Great job, Pops!

Ask her to let you borrow it one Saturday night. See how far that goes.

MarkinAZ · 04-06-2015, 07:37 PM

About as far as she can throw me Jamie

Congratulations to you and your baby girl, my brother!!!

Mark, my baby girl bought a new car right around the same time yours did.
The little spud was 18 in September, 3 jobs, finishing high school, and taking college courses at Penn State.
The best part is that I'm out of the loop. I was paying to keep up her Envoy and it was tough. I couldn't do any of the wrenching, she's over in PA and I'm in Ohio.
She's footing the whole bill now, says half her payment is gas money saved.

But I get to take over paying for college, so I think she won. As always.

I had a '72 Valiant I paid $150 for, then an $800 '74 VW Bug, then a $500 '76 Daytona Charger. She's doin a little better than me.

MarkinAZ · 04-18-2015, 11:11 AM

And congratulations to your "little spud" Scott. She sounds like a go getter. I paid $200 for my 63 Bonneville in 1971 (sans the $$ I put into it to bring it up to specs). Main thing is, is was paid for and all mine
